UK holidaymakers could face major travel disruptions this Easter as easyJet flight attendants prepare to strike. The planned walkout on April 9, 2025, falls during one of the busiest holiday periods. Families traveling from Scotland may be hit hard since schools there are closed from April 7 to April 21.

The strike, expected to last four hours from 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM CET, could severely impact flights. Major unions are leading the action, targeting easyJet operations in Italy. This disruption could affect flights from Glasgow and Edinburgh airports, which link the UK to popular destinations like Milan, Naples, and Rome.

Flight attendants play a vital role in airline operations. Their absence could lead to cancellations and delays, causing a chain reaction across easyJet’s network. Passengers might struggle with missed connections and unexpected changes to their schedules. These disruptions could extend beyond the strike hours, affecting later flights as well.

Travelers facing cancellations or long delays may be eligible for compensation under EU air passenger rights. Depending on the flight distance, compensation could range from £220 to £520. Affected passengers should monitor updates from easyJet and keep records of any disruptions to support their claims.

To minimize the impact, travelers should check their flight status regularly and stay updated through easyJet’s website and social media channels. Those affected should contact customer service for alternative options. With Easter approaching, planning ahead will help travelers navigate any last-minute changes.
